Still waiting

after having a few days of wonderful weather last week, we reverted to cold and wet and dreary for the weekend. That should make for some good stitching weather, but unfortunately, I'm feeling about the same way as the weather :( Darn spring cold! Today has been a crazy day - torrential rain at lunch time, and now we've got some sun. On top of my cold, the pressure changes are giving me a headache. ah well, there's always something, right?

I haven't updated on my retreat a few weekends ago - it was great! I went with one main goal - to make some progress on my pineapple blossom quilt, which I did! Yay me!

The main part of the top is now done, just contemplating whether or not there will be borders and what they might look like. Here's what it looks like at the moment.

And what's the fun of a retreat if you don't start at least 1 new project? I out did myself, and now have 3 new WIPs to shuffle around, but I'll save them for another post.

I also haven't shown my finished Hugs and Kisses - here it is on the guest bed

and, I've got a new challenge to work on through the Modern Quilt Guild -a Michael Miller Fabric challenge - aren't these some lovelies? I've got some ideas brewing...
